Below is a list of the current F42 changes that have not reached 100% complete (bugzilla state = ON_QA), with additional information, where provided, on their current status:
System Wide
KTLS implementation for GnuTLS Owners: @fkrenzel @dueno Status: MODIFIED retargeted to f43 Latest Information: The change owner has done some initial testing and is reporting all going well, with the only exception being a new error message type that needs to be added to the code as a result of the rekey kTLS patch.
Systemd Security Hardening Owner: @metherid Status: NEW dropped Latest Information: The change owner has not responded to any comments on the tracker bug in ~9 months on current status, and the work does not seem to have moved from the initial x3 PRs. Its looking unlikely that this change is being worked on anymore.
Unify bin and sbin Owner: @zbyszek Status: MODIFIED ON_QA Latest Information: There was a build submitted to F42 stable repo, but there were a few build failures reported. A fix updating the pathways for iptables was merged and this might have helped.
Anaconda as native Wayland application Owner: @jkonecny Status: MODIFIED Latest Information: Some items are still outstanding. Below is taken from the change owners latest comment on the bz: 'Everything is resolved from the Anaconda side. However, the localed keyboard switching is not resolved for: - Workstation - they accepted they want to have this implemented, however, they don't have capacity - it was broken even before in Fedora, so I don't think it's blocking - X11 based environments - this should be on X11 spin maintainers but I agreed that I will help so I started the project which is unfortunately not packaged and used yet - I want to ask for community help as I have hard to time get to this'
Setuptools 74+ Owner: @churchyard Status: MODIFIED done Latest Information: There are a very small amount of packages still failing to build with this new release of python-etup tools, but the majority of packages have been updated (approx 9/134 left).
Retire zbus v1 Owner: @decathorpe Status: ASSIGNED done Latest Information: There are x3 packages still affected, with PRs still open on each notifying maintainers of this change, and the change is non-blocking for releases with the contingency deadline set to final freeze.
Anaconda WebUI Partitioning Owner: @jkonecny Status: MODIFIED Latest Information: This change had a community test week in November 2024, and has implemented the solution proposed and approved by FESCo and is/has been working with Fedora QA on integrating their upstream test suite to test the new UI.
RPMSuportForSystemdSysusers Owner: @msekleta @zbyszek @pmatilai Status: MODIFIED ON_QA Latest Information: rpm's sysusers.d integration enabled in rawhide now as of rpm 4.20.0-8: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2025-9c37bb22bb

There are still a number of open bugs against this change, but the change owner has noted that the majority are build failures which will resolve once they are ported to Tck/Tk 9, or an explicit need for the Tcl/Tk 8.6 compat devel packages to be added to build. The contingency plan is beta freeze, and this change is not release blocking.
LLVM 20 Owner: @tstellar Status: ASSIGNED in progress in line with the schedule Latest Information: No update in the bz tracker, however there is a schedule outlined in the change page as LLVM always builds later than our schedule, and the contingecy deadline is Final Freeze.

Koji uses Red Hat Image Builder locally Owner: @fujiwara @supakeen Status: MODIFIED retargeted to f43 Latest Information: Latest comment on the bz tracker indicates infra support was needed to enable this change.

Only outstanding feature work is to get the systemd presets defined to start on boot, so should be ON_QA soon. See linked BZ for fedora-release.
Retire zbus v1 Owner: @decathorpe Status: ASSIGNED Latest Information: There are x3 packages still affected, with PRs still open on each notifying maintainers of this change, and the change is non-blocking for releases with the contingency deadline set to final freeze.

I've set both changes to ON_QA.
Metadata Update from @zbyszek: - Issue tagged with: meeting
Metadata Update from @humaton: - Issue untagged with: meeting
KTLS implementation for GnuTLS has been updated to retarget F43.
Systemd Security Hardening has been dropped.
I think they are the only actions from this report, please advise if any other changes need to be made for other accepted changes and I will update them accordingly.
Metadata Update from @fale: - Issue tagged with: meeting
Unify bin and sbin
We wrote a patch/merged/built chkconfig/alternatives to treat /bin, /usr/bin, /sbin, and /usr/sbin as equivalent (https://github.com/fedora-sysv/chkconfig/pull/145). This was the last unresolved issue.
RPMSuportForSystemdSysusers
There was a problem with rpm-ostree. It turns out it didn't have support for sysusers (https://github.com/coreos/rpm-ostree/issues/5333, https://gitlab.com/fedora/ostree/sig/-/issues/70, https://github.com/fedora-silverblue/issue-tracker/issues/636, https://github.com/coreos/rpm-ostree/pull/5334, https://github.com/coreos/rpm-ostree/pull/5336, https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/rpm-ostree/pull-request/67). The issue should be resolved now. But it primarily affected rawhide, not f42, the status of f42 was/is still OK.
@fale We had an action item for you to check Golang 1.24 status. Any updates?
@humaton We had an action item for you to check Anaconda as native Wayland application. Any updates?
Idris 2 Owner: @petersen
Unfortunately there has been no progress on this. But it's an purely additive change, so nothing for us to do.
Okey dokey, this is the list that I think we should discuss today:
Koji uses Red Hat Image Builder locally (@fujiwara)
This change has been retargeted to Fedora 43, see the tracker ticket for motivation: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2342235, Aoife already changed the wiki page(s).
I'm going to submit the koji plugin a separate package, instead of building it into a pre-existing package. Still targeting about the same dates for the release of the package but it seems unwise to actually configure and start using this new package/koji plugin in Fedora's koji so close to final so let's do that shortly after the final of Fedora 42 :)
P.S: the owner of this change is @supakeen, not @fujiwara.
Idris 2 Owner: @petersen Unfortunately there has been no progress on this. But it's an purely additive change, so nothing for us to do. Okey dokey, this is the list that I think we should discuss today: Anaconda as native Wayland application (@jkonecny) Anaconda WebUI Partitioning (@jkonecny)
Hi, I wonder how is this tracked? Should I close the BZs it if it is done?
More information:
Anaconda as native Wayland application (@jkonecny)
This is already done, there is smaller subset of change which is currently last piece in BODHI but I wouldn't say it is blocking for the change. Everything else is merged months ago. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2025-a3429bf4d0
Anaconda WebUI Partitioning (@jkonecny)
Could be closed right away as it is sub-change of https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/AnacondaWebUIforFedoraWorkstation Everything is already delivered there.
@jkonecny when a Change is fully 'done' so far as you're concerned, you should set the bug status to ON_QA. I'm pretty sure the bug gets comments explaining this, and it's explained in the Change process doc - https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/program_management/changes_policy/ .
I see, I missed that. Fixing now.

Ack, the change 'Reduce the amount of "dontaudit" rules pertaining to unlabeled_t' has now been updated to F43.
Is there anything left in here? It seems like we've gone through all the F42 changes now...
Let's discuss this during today's meeting to make sure we haven't missed anything.
We discussed this topic during today's meeting.
AGREED: The Idris 2 Change Proposal is re-targeted at Fedora 43, but the package can still land in Fedora 42 as a normal "newpackage" update at any time. (+7, 1, -0) All other previously-incomplete Changes for Fedora 42 are either complete, testable, or in-progress.
